“Like every year, on the anniversary of the feast of lovers, in the editorial office we asked ourselves how to tell love in the time of Covid-19” the director Simone Marchetti writes in his editorial. “This year there is also a special anniversary: ​​twenty years ago it arrived on the screens of cinemas The last Kiss, the film by Gabriele Muccino that thrilled an entire country. We therefore thought of imagining the first kiss we will give each other once the virus has left us. And here is the genesis of this cover: to celebrate the affection, the strength, the tenderness of a generation that has seen it all. The war, the pain, the fear. The reconstruction of Italy, the sweat of conquests, the tears of defeats. All to then face, finally, the most cowardly enemy: a virus that does not even have the courage to be seen ».

They have never separated since his return. And now, after three children, six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, their love story continues.

The tale of this generation continues with Stefano Bozzino, the alpine who had traveled around the world playing the accordion under the window of the hospital where his wife was hospitalized. For the first time he tells of the recent death of his beloved and of the love that never ends. The image of their kiss symbolizes a life manual that tells what love is.

A love capable of winning everything and that also returns within the pages of the issue through the stories of other protagonists: Penelope e Alessandro, 18 and 19 years old who knew each other by sight, but fell in love exchanging messages during the first lockdown.

Together for 16 and a half years, web influencer Linda Tol and photographer Renwe Jules four months ago they became Louie Gene’s parents, a gift that was made to wait for.

Men, success, disappointments, the strength to go forward always and in any case: the actress Serena Grandi, protagonist of the new film by Pupi Avati She speaks to me yet, story of an endless love, tells the lights and shadows of a life lived with passion. From the first to the last kiss.
